Application filed December 5, 1924. Serial ,Ne. 754,08v 4.l

To all whom it may concern-f Be it known that I, WILLIAM (lr. KENDALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State 5 of New Jersey, have invented a certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Compact apparent from the appended specification and drawings in which- Figure l -is a sectional View of my improved compact holder open,

Figure 2 is a perspective view of my improved compact holder open and showing the rouge receptacle and mirror,

Figure 3 is a perspective view of my improved compact holder partly in section and showing the powder compact.

A and Adenote two equal metalmembers having `a slight curvature which form These members A andAAare held together by the hinge and on the pintle Cof the hinge B is also mounted a'fiat metallic mirror D which ,occupies aminimum of space vand has several importantefunctions as will be hereinafter described. In the member A is located the powder pad and in the opposite member A the rouge pad, suiiicient space being given so that a powder pull" can also be carried over the rouge or powder pad.

The mirror D has an extended member Il formed integrally therein which serves as a finger hold and closed. This finger hold E fits into the depression G shown in Figure 3 of the member A. The member D is made of metal the body of my improved compact holder.-

to open the holder when signature.

having a mirror surface on each side and not only separates the lrouge and powder compartments from each other, but, also serves throughthe extension EV as the means of opening the compact holder. The mirror D is hinged directly to the pintle C of the hinge B by the member H which is an integral part of the mirror D the end of H being bent directly over the pintle C. The hinge memberD therefore has three parts, the mirror part proper,`the extension .and finger hold E and the hinge member II,

but all of these parts are formed from a single sheet of metal.` e f The rings M and N yform, the walls of compartments for a compact rouge and a compact face powder; respectively.

By this construction a compact .holder y Vof eXtreme thinness and simplicity is made. ,Having thus fully described mylinvention, what I claim is l. In a compact holder, two equal and opposite members having a slight curva# 1 ture, a hinge joininv'said members at one .edge thereof, a metallic plate fixed on said hlnge having amirror surface on both sides and ring .members formed on the holder members on each side of. said mirror surface adapted to partially' overlay a co1npact on each side of said mirror plate.

2. In a compact holder, two equal and opposite members having a slight curvature, a hinge joining said members at one edge thereof, a metallic plate separating said members, said plate having a mirror sur face' on both sides, ring members formed on the holder members on each side of said metallic plate, confining a powder puff and compact compartment on each side, so that the curved space made by each curved member is substantially filled with the powder puff and compact on each side.

In testimony whereof I hereunto alix my WILLIAM e. KENDALL.
